But I have to ask this.

Does the Appearance Package include a rear wing spoiler, or must it be bought separately (at around 300 if memory serves) ? I've seen a few posts suggesting that it does, but it isn't detailed enough on Mazda's or Edmund's web sites.

Tried searching, but it's amazing how many posts contains the words "Appearance Package"

 

the rear wing is not part of the appearance pkg.

the appearance pkg. includes the front air damn, side and rear aero flares.
